Approaching two months. Last week I got more keys, which I’m interpreting as a further indication of trust and, favor I guess for lack of a better word. Unfortunately I’ve developed some janitor jingle. If I get hired I’m getting a reel so I can keep the keys in my pocket when I’m not using them. It’s also harder to lose them with a tether.

A few weeks ago Manager told me I was working well and fitting in, but he wanted to see more initiative. That was before I got my work Crapberry, tho. I was sitting around a lot then, waiting for stuff to do. Still I’m not sure if he really meant that and was getting reports on me or something, or if it’s just some boilerplate managerial stuff he likes to say.

I’m feeling more confident, but still trying to not be presumptuous. I’m leaving a few tools here until I get issued some and I’m leaving my steel toes here to facilitate getting to the gym. Since I have less stuff to pack I can bring my gym clothes to work, that definitely helps

    He meant it. Trust me.

    It’s all about your boss’s perception.

    Actively asking “what should I be doing next” then sitting down is much better than just sitting down and waiting.
